Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
"The piglets is stunning it’s so modern and for us it was like being home from home it’s so clean, comfortable and has absolutely everything you need."
It’s so accessible to everywhere it’s just a short drive to the main shops and only a short drive to the coast. Kim and Neil were so helpful to us and made us feel so comfortable and welcome. We loved it so much we’ve booked again for October I would definitely recommend it for a fabulous holiday
Hi Sarah, Thank you so much for your lovely review. It’s really appreciated. We are glad you had a nice week and we look forward to welcoming you back in October.

"A lovely holiday - home from home."
Spacious comfortable stay. Well equipped kitchen and lovely log fire. The Piglets is a quiet village location, yet close by to access all the great surrounding areas to visit.The owner was very helpful with anything we needed, and even provided more logs for us. Only improvement would be access to terrestrial TV instead of using iplayer/Netflix etc. A visit to the local pub The Fox is highly recommended with excellent service and food. We will definitely be back.
Dear Elaine
Thank you for your review. We will look into it and see there’s anything that can be done with the TV. We always appreciate feedback. Hope to welcome you back sometime.

"Cleanliness - on arrival we had an issue but the owner rectified this very quickly & to our satisfaction."
Overall we enjoyed our stay. Good location with easy access to A14.
Comfort - central heating was set too low & we were cold at times.
Facilities - TV is app based only, no live terrestrial TV - so you can’t scroll through what’s on or see central listing.
Hot tub is wood fired & thus takes long time to heat up. Boiler is quite noisy in one of the bedrooms. Needs more external lighting out towards gate (perhaps motion activated).
Hi Kirsty, We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us. The timing the hot water comes on can be amended by us (as I think I said to you) to meet your needs which would help with any noise you experienced. Unfortunately the only location the boiler could be is behind one of the bedrooms when we renovated otherwise it would have been in the open plan area which we didn’t want. We will look into the TV and see if anything can be done with this. Thank you for taking the time to review. We always take onboard any feedback as we are very keen to give guests the best experience. Best wishes. Kim

"The cottage is gorgeous and staged beautifully."
Very modern and a clever use of space. The wood fired hot tub is lovely as it feels super cosy and an achievement to get it fired yourself. The area is wonderful and the hosts are so welcoming and helpful. The only downside I would say is as the owners live at the back of the property as and have to drive past the cottage to get to their drive, there felt a little lack of privacy also as the main entrance is glass and no curtains for it. So when the owners drove past, I thought they could look in which made me feel less comfortable walking around in my pajamas/getting in and out of the hot tub. But a beautiful place, that I would recommend to friends and families but less so to couples.

"Opening the door to The Piglets we got the WOW factor."
We had taken our granddaughters 23 and 21 on holiday to Suffolk, after taking them on many holidays through the years abroad and UK, they both loved this wonderful find. Close to all places for sightseeing, set in a lovely garden, where we enjoyed relaxing, chatting and two evenings in the hot tub. Our little dog loved it too. The girls enjoyed the bottle of wine which was a nice touch welcoming us on our arrival together with doggy treats for our pooch. The space between the bedrooms, both with en-suite had been well thought out. To be honest we could not have wanted for more that’s why we have rated this a 10. Which is rare as we have been to many places promising everything to be disappointed! Not here if you are looking for lovely accommodation in an excellent location look no further! The only warning is if you sit outside in the garden or hot tub on a warm night be sure to take care of the mosquitoes, one of our granddaughters got bitten and she is allergic to them but here again she received excellent service from the doctors surgery. If you should have any problems, which I doubt, the owners are nearby and are very helpful with very well behaved children, who deliver logs to your door should you need them. Excellent holiday without any disappointments
Oh Susan…Thank you so much for such a wonderful review. We love to hear that guests have had an enjoyable holiday making memories. Thank you again. Much appreciated. Enjoy the summer.

"Piglets was a lovely place to stay and felt like home from home."
Extremely well equipped and you couldn’t ask for a nicer place to stay.
The welcome gift of wine, biscuits and dog treats was a lovely touch and much appreciated.
Kim and Neil were supper friendly and helpful. Kim popped over to introduce herself and let us know how to contact her should we need to. It was really helpful knowing they were Nextdoor, but I must say it was not intrusive in any way.
Piglets felt rural, but had great access to all the amenities and attractions.
The weather was awful during our stay, but it gave an excuse to light the log burner, sit back relax and enjoy being cosy while watching rain and wind outside.
We had a bit of a medical issue while staying at piglets, and it was great to know Kim was close by. Both Kim and Neil were extremely helpful and supportive during our hour of need. Thank you
Hi Karen

Kim was very helpful when we had a problem with the front door and also provided more wood for the burner. The property and garden are really pretty and the hot tub is wonderful. The Piglets is very well equipped and the bed very comfy. There is a great pub a short walk away called The Fox Inn where we had a superb Sunday lunch.

"The property is in a great location and we enjoyed visiting different areas of interest."
We hadn't realised the owners lived so close to the property and felt rather 'overlooked'. There was a problem getting hot water for showering etc and so wasted a considerable amount of water before it was even tepid. Not very eco friendly regarding water wastage. One power point in the twin bedded room wasn't working so bedside lamp facilities were compromised.
Thank you for your feedback. Just to respond to your points.
Whilst the hot water can take a little longer to run through, this is due to the building being old, however there is always plenty of hot water.
Whilst we (the owners) do live next door we are over 50m away so not particularly close. The Piglets has a private driveway and garden and all of the Piglets windows overlook this (none to our house). Most guests find this a positive as we can respond to any additional requests such as extra wood for the hot tub/log burner etc very quickly.

Very responsive and helpful. Great property for our stay whilst working in Suffolk- clean and comfortable. Plenty of walks from the doorstep as well as further afield. Highlights were Woodbridge (delightful), Aldburgh beach walk and fish market restaurant, Snape Maltings, the local pubs and the Unruly Pig is a must.

Kim was just a phone call away if we needed to ask anything. We stayed over Christmas and the property had everything we needed to cook a banquet. Bedrooms and living areas are very comfortable and the log burning stove made the stay even more cosy. Great open planned space for socialising with the family (and a dog). Local pub is a short walk away, we enjoyed popping in for a quick drink during our walks. Retail park is nearby which have Supermarkets and Bowling alleys for something to do.

"Thank you so much for our stay at the Piglets, such a beautiful hidden gem!"
This was our early Christmas getaway due to working over the Christmas period and what a wonderful week its been. We can't thank you enough for allowing us to bring our rabbit Missy, this made our holiday! The owner kindly gave us a Christmas tree to put up, along with the decorations early, which was a lovely touch and we appreciate very much! The wood fired hot tub was incredible, especially since it was mine and my fiances first time experiencing it, definitely worth it. The location was great, close to the town centre and plenty of options for supermarkets in the area to choose from. I could say so much more but I'm going to leave our review at a stop here.
Thank you again for a lovely stay and we hope to visit again soon!

"Kim the owner is very approachable and keen to ensure that you have a great time."
The area is stunning with amazing walks
Sutton hoo, Thorpeness, Aldeburgh to name a few
We had fabulous weather so only used the hot tub one evening
Local pubs had great food menus (The Fox Newbourne and the Maybush in Waldringfield)
Our only issue was there was no cafetière but Tesco's is only 7 minutes away
All major supermarkets deliver to the area too
Great place for a family of 4 or 2 couples
